For a little perspective, consider the votes of another minority -- Asians.
Romney won among all voters making more than $100,000 a year by a margin of
54-44. Asian-Americans happen to be the highest-earning group in the U.S.,
out-earning whites, and they generally place enormous emphasis on family. A
perfect fit for Republicans, no?
No. Asians voted for Obama by 73-26; they were more Democratic than
Hispanics.
It's possible that Hispanics and Asians are more communitarian than
individualistic, leading them to identify more with Democrats than
Republicans. But most immigrants, like most other Americans, possess both
strains in their political DNA. (People rarely pull up roots and move to a
new land without a strong sense of individualism.)
So perhaps the decisive characteristics are not in the Asian and Hispanic
communities so much as in the Republican Party. The GOP is overwhelmingly
white and insistently, at times militantly, Christian. Democrats, by
contrast, are multiracial with a laissez faire attitude toward religion and
spirituality. If you were a black-haired Buddhist from Taipei or a brown-
skinned Hindu from Bangalore, which party would instinctively seem more
comfortable?
Republican exceptions prove the rule. As Shikha Dalmia has pointed out, the
two high-profile Indian-Americans in the Republican constellation --
Governors Nikki Haley of South Carolina and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana --
both converted from their traditional eastern faiths to Christianity. It's
unlikely that's a coincidence.
There is also the problem that polite people avoid identifying: the
persistence of a rump of racists in the Republican base and on conservative
airwaves. Nothing the party advocates -- from walls along the border with
Mexico to the "papers please" laws of Arizona and Alabama -- is designed to
disabuse those conservatives of their racial views or of their belief that
the party will tolerate them.
For many years the racial smoke signals worked in Republicans favor. Now
Asians, blacks and Hispanics are sending the signals. Blacks vote Democratic
9-1; Asians 3-1; Hispanics almost 3-1. Support for immigration reform will
help. But Democrats have a four-decade head start in building and managing
multiracial coalitions. Republicans have a lot of catching up to do in a
hurry.

DEM did not say that they will raise taxes for the middle class, only raise
taxes for those whose annual income above $200k.
I doubt that any of those IDs makes that much money each year.

You have no idea what is going on. First of all, you don't take
money away from people and then give it to those who have not
worked. You keep doing it you encourage more laziness and discourage
those who work hard.
Secondly you have no idea that printing money to cover his spending
is a tax on everyone b/c it depreciates the dollar. When government
spends like crazy, you will pay for it via inflation even if you
don't get a tax hike.

Printing money is not the democrates' invention, GOP does that too.

发帖数: 1637 | 18 Oldguy, only top 3% will pay more tax. According to Obama .
But frankly we all need to share to better this country , this is our
country.
I trust American will navigate through this rough journey like they did
after Pear harbor attack 70 years ago.
Bernadine, you may be among top 3%. Your support of GOP is very natural,
though most richest men like Warren Buffett, Bill Gates support Dem. Your
wealth is fraction of theirs, I guess. | w*****2
发帖数: 1458 | 19 Why are you surprised?
It is misleading.
It is about 11% Asian American individual annual income and 28% family
annual income over $100K. I bet majorities of those vote for GOP. Also,
about 18% personal and about 40% household income over 75K.
The Asian American population is greatly urbanized, with nearly three-
quarters of them living in metropolitan areas with population greater than 2
.5 million. The three metropolitan areas with the highest Asian American
populations are the Greater Los Angeles Area (1.868 million in 2007), the
New York metropolitan area (1.782 million in 2007), and the San Francisco
Bay Area (979,000 in 2007).
There are total about 18 mil. Asian in the U.S. and more than 70% of them
live in CA, NY, IL, DC, WA, MA, NJ, HI, all heavy favor Dem.

发帖数: 16928 | 20 When people are as rich as Warren Buffet, 20 million more tax per year may
not mean much to them. They may want to do some wealth transfer to make sure
your business environment is safe. If there are large riots then his
company will be looted and will be gone. That is why some super rich people
support democrat. But for most people that are not super rich, in particular
small business owners, they care more about their taxes rather than riots.

of it, like葛朗台 in 巴尔扎克 小说。So I understand。
Btw, are you among top 3 %? You don't need to disclose it so none would
take info to rob you for sure. I am just curious. We are not on top 3% ，
and never care about it. |
